The point here is not saying
if you just do these steps your prayer will be answered.
I am saying if you take on
the principles laid out for us, God WILL hear you.
1)
“Love the Lord with all…” [Lk.10:27]
2)
“Love all as Jesus loved…” [Jn.13:34]
3)
NOW: “If you ask me to do something, I will
do it.” [Jn. 14:14]
These are not taken out of context.
They are rather strung together as a growth pattern for
any Christian. You see, if you ask after you are doing the first two, God can
complete the conversation because His Son stays involved with the asking.
Our challenge/struggle is truly living the first two. We
try to skip those and say God must owe us so he should do the third anytime.
He still hears the
prayer, but he waits on our proper growth to fulfill his purpose which is a loving
harmony. 50% commitment is not enough but 100% willingness can make a better
conversation [ two-way event] with the Almighty.
